:1,2,131,262
Now, list down the factors of 980
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,49,70,98,140,196,245,490,980
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 262,980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 262,980 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,746
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 262/33,980/746 is 2/24618
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 33,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,746) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,746) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,746) = ( 33 × 746 ) / 1
LCM(33,746) = 24618 / 1
LCM(33,746) = 24618
